Walnut-inlay Sports Fan Pallet Deck Table

I made this Walnut-inlay Sports Fan Pallet Deck Table for my brother, who is a huge WV Mountaineers fan. I made this from one pallet wood.

Spoil the sports fan in your family and make them a terrific sports-themed Pallet Deck Table or coffee table!

I added a half inch plywood backing for the top. Additionally, I did a walnut inlay of the Flying WV logo from some scrap pieces I had left over. It is approximately 21"x 28" and 22" tall. Finally, I applied a low-gloss polyurethane applied with a brush, and the final two coats were sprayed on. The thick pallet frames with the notched bottom added a real pallet project feel.

Make the sports fan in your life do a happy dance! Make them a custom table by doing a beautiful inlay with a decorative wood like walnut, used here, or even do a stencil if you're not comfortable with inlay techniques. A polyurethane coating helps the gorgeous details of both wood types shine through.Even when using pallet wood, detail can elevate "scrap wood" to stunning beauty. The inlaid logo with walnut and the edge trimming out the table, as well as the rounded feet and excellent finish make this pallet wood table a beautiful work of art that'll be cherished by the recipient.

With an estimated 2 billion pallets being used every day, and many more sitting around, no wonder so many projects have been done using pallets. Here are 1001 ways to recycle, upcycle, reuse or repurpose pallets! If you are a pallet upcycler, do not hesitate to send us your work, we will be happy to showcase it to the world!
